Moss and Porter for The load and Lord Byron...You can throw in Toefield too.

Pass. If one of the quarterbacks gets traded, it's going to be Garrard.

Ok, Then Moss and Porter for the Load and Garrard...Anyway, I was reading your post the other night when you were saying something like the QB situation in JVille was being overanalyzed, but I got the impression that Del Rio really did think that Garrard gave them a better chance to win...I know that Leftwich was injured, but he's certainly played well like that before...People play injured all the time, where do we draw th eline between playing through injury and playing through pain? I thought in the playoffs last yr that Garrard should have started that game, but Del RIo went with Lefty. I thought he maybe second-guessed himself this year, and when Garrard played well in his stints early in the year, coupled with last yr's performances, I kind of got the impression that he would have given Garrard a chance this yr anyway - even if Leftwich was playing poorly, but uninjured.

Lefty was saying this year that the doctors never told him the ankle needed to be "cleaned out" (contrary to what Del Rio said) Im assuming that was bull. But guys go on IR for turf toe, dont you think Lefty coulda played the rest of the season on the ankle? and probably outperformed Garrard? I bet he thinks he could have, thats why I think Lefty's unhappy, and will want out.

Anyway, you guys have probably discussed this, so maybe someone can set me straight as I like the Jags but don't follow them too closely.

Del Rio thought Garrard gave the Jaguars a better chance to win, because he feels like a healthy Garrard gives them a better chance than an injured Leftwich. It's that simple. Del Rio has maintained that Leftwich is the starter when healthy. However, the injury was serious enough that it never healed on its own, and it required season ending surgery. The end.

So Leftwich will gladly return? We'll see.

Um, why wouldn't he? He'll be the starting quarterback and will probably get a contract extension.

It isn't like the coaching staff screwed him over like the media made it seem. Byron wanted to play. Not matter what he said, he was too hurt to play. The season ending surgery kinda proves that, doesn't it not?

No, you're right, I guess I was a victim of the media ploy, that's why I was asking...It just seemed like he was saying the complete opposite of Del RIo, especially about the "cleaning out of the ankle" deal, and he seemed pissed that he wasn't the starter...But given his penchant for playing injured, you can see why he was upset - he thought he could play. So, have there been rumors about an extension?

There haven't been rumors in media and whatnot, but he's going into the last year of his contract. If he plays well, he'll receive an extension.

I definitly agree with that, I think that if we draft any CB we'll have too wait a year before moving Brian to FS. The only way I see us trading Lefty is if we get offered a sick package of picks. Which I really don't see anybody who would want him enough. Plus I really feel more comfortable with Leftwich starting anyways. Whenever Garrad plays I'm always waiting for a big pass, but it never comes. With Leftwich our passing game is so much more consistent. Though he will rarely light you up, he always has Decent stats. Rather than Garrard with his 80 yard passing efforts, and how whenever the ball is thrown over 20 yards I lose all faith in the play. I just can't stand that feeling, of knowing that the play won't work.

Ok I'm done, this rant is pointless.

That's why I don't think the FO trades Leftwich. They aren't going to get a great glob in return, and he's still got potential and has been proven to be successful.

Edgar Allen Poe really was the first emo kid ever, but he had a real reason to cut himself. And can the Jags please give up one of their backs this offseason? Its just not fair to have Fast Freddy, Greg "The one and only, you can't clone me" Jones and MJD on the team. The league is all about parody guys, come on.

by the way, any ideas where to find a jaguars jersey (any player) on the cheap? I am looking for MJD specifically, but any player would do. You know, to have something new to wear on gameday. New peferably, but used would do just fine as well.

What should I wear for the game?
Black Rashean Mathis
Teal Jimmy Smith
Black MJD

Teal Leftwich. Shoe's on the other foot now!

Hmm...interesting. I was thinking something a bit cheaper would be on par with my college budget but maybe I can fit into a youth jersey? Anyone have experience with this? You think a Youth XL would fit someone who is 5'9, 160 and slim/toned? Might buy in bulk then.
